Nintendo of America has posted a notice on its website that the official Nintendo NSider Forums will be closed indefinitely, effective today. Nintendo is citing a "major overhaul" of Nintendo.com as the reason for the forum shutdown.
In a statement on the former forums front page, Nintendo.com Supervisor of Web Content Andy Hartpence, a.k.a. "NOA_Andy," said:
"For more than four years, these NSider Forums have fostered engaging, robust debates, a strong community and friendships. While their future remains uncertain, in the interim we invite our fans to build on the spirit of community by starting their own Nintendo discussion sites. Remember also that the unique features available with Nintendo DS and Wii give Nintendo the opportunity to communicate directly with fans, while also enabling fans and friends around the world to communicate with each other."
The NSider forums will remain up until September 24 in a read-only format (available here), after which time they will be gone for good.
We'd like to take this opportunity to let any refugees of the Nintendo NSider forums to know that we here at Nintendo World Report have a community of Nintendo fans that's over 10,000 strong. Perhaps you'd like to join them?

Don't you dare jinx us into catastrophe...don't you dare.
It's GP's fault.

...seriously, though, these forums are one of the more opened I have seen to multi-console ownership when coming from a site dedicated to a single platform (or platforms with the DS, I suppose). I find that especially fascinating considering that, deep down in side, many of us do seem to enjoy seeing a competing brand flounder (PS3 comes to mind).
Although I should add that we still aren't perfect in this regards, as GP is attesting above.

But have you ever been criticized for it? Also, I meant ryancoke before, not sure why I said Ceric (although he owns a PS3 too...).

Someone already beat me to the Grey Ninja reference, is that including all member names ever registered?
Including Dragona, Matt C, Denis Dyack, Fran Mirabella, Justin Nation, Billy B, you know the list goes on.
I don't think any of these people have posted in a looonngg time.

For the most part everyone is accepting of multi console, especially Wii60.

The current theory is whoever is taking over Nintendo Power will start their own forums.
